## XP System Overview

PulseTrader's **Experience Points (XP) System** rewards traders for executing trading signals. Unlike traditional credit-based systems, XP is earned through signal execution and provides a simple way to track your trading activity.

### 🎮 **What is the XP System?**

The XP System is a **simple reward system** where traders earn experience points by executing trading signals. It's designed to:

* **Track Activity**: Monitor your signal execution history
* **Reward Participation**: Earn XP for each signal you execute
* **Simple Progression**: Accumulate XP over time through trading

### 🏆 **XP vs Leaderboard Points**

While both XP and Leaderboard Points track your platform activity, they serve different purposes:

#### **Experience Points (XP)**

* **Earning**: Earned by executing trading signals
* **Display**: Shown in platform header next to your account

#### **How They Relate**

Your **Leaderboard Points** are calculated from your **XP earned**, making them directly connected:

* Trading signals earn XP → XP contributes to Leaderboard Points
